When Lorene Wesley met Thomas Redmond Jr. in 2004, she liked and trusted him instantly.

The financial adviser from Carmel told Wesley he would invest her money into an account where it would eventually grow. The 81-year-old Attica woman invested $7,000 in November 2004. She wrote a second check for $3,000 to Redmond's company in September 2011.
